This prompted a giggle from Alice, and soon Tina felt her own face crack into a wide grin and she started laughing too. Helena’s hurt bewilderment dissolved into tension-cutting laughter.
When the lull hit, Tina marveled at the absurdity of the situation. Her water had broken, she was stuck in traffic, and here she was giggling with her friends like they were a bunch of carefree teenagers.
“I’m alright, you guys. Really. I’m fine. No contractions yet. But Alice, time is of the essence. I could handle giving birth in the backseat if I had to, but I don’t think Helena could.”
Helena shrugged, with an apologetic smile. “I’m no use, I know it. Winnie said the same thing when she was in labor.”
Tina took Helena’s hand and squeezed it. “You aren’t useless, Helena. I’m glad you’re here.”
Tina smiled but internally she was slightly annoyed. They should both be mollycoddling me. I’m the one about to give birth here. But I guess if I’m going to be a mother again, I can mother my friends as well. She leaned forward and squeezed Alice’s shoulder in a silent gesture meant to convey the same sentiment she had just expressed aloud to Helena–I’m glad you’re with me. Alice took one hand from the steering wheel and placed it on top of Tina’s, returning the pressure. For a moment all three of them were joined, and then Tina pulled her hand away. As if on cue, both Tina’s companions began to talk at once. Alice bitched at the traffic while Helena bitched at her cell phone’s lack of signal.
Tina settled back and gingerly placed a hand on her stomach.
“Hang on in there, baby. I’m getting you to a safe place to be born, I promise,” she murmured.
Just then the traffic started to move, and Alice yelped in triumph. “Yes! We’re on our way!”
“Finally,” Helena sighed, putting a hand over her chest.
You’d almost think she was the one about to go into labor, Tina mused to herself.
“Will you be turning at the next light, or do you know another shortcut, Alice?” Helena drawled.

that was a very well written chapter..loved it..just awesome..anxious for the nxt chapter
So good. Is Angie going to be jealous? And did I miss some foundational B&T issues here or are B&T finally fully in sync now?
I’ve never read 25 pages before, but it was so exciting I couldn’t stop!
Just great!
Very sweet to give T & B some nice new family members!
Wow!! This was long, I mean 25 pages wow, but was so good, I just love it and Tina ohhh god.PPS
I so loved it!!!! I do hope that this was not the end of this wonderful sotry. Omalley, having Tina yelling at Bette was so funny. Thanks PPVS
Baby Ethan has made his presence know to the world and in a safe manner. Finally, we are getting to see someone from Tina’s side of the family come to her. I love Ethan’s name and am happy that the birth went smoothly.
Marvelous chapter!

hehhehehhehehhe…….. that was hilarious.. gr8 chapter.. post SOOOOONN plz.. i hope i’m 1st
That was great! I could totally imagine Tina yelling at Bette when she was having the baby! Can’t wait to see what happens next! PPS:)
Where have you been all my life. That was the truly the best ff I’ve read in a long, long time. You’ve got labor and delivery down perfectly. All that Tina went through and all that grumpiness is EXACTLY how it is. Did you just have a baby> Bette and Tina’s interactions seemed so real and so delightful. And you write so well.A very grateful reader. Thank you.
wow, that was like a trip down memory lane for me…especially tina getting all shitty with bette during the birth and not wanting to push…hilarious!!! and the wanting to get out of the hospital asap; i did what tina did pushed them to let me go…funny bette falling over but sad the camera broke…and i’m watching an old movie, ‘Breakfast in Hollywood’, hilarious stuff. loving the story, pps.
Whew, you scared me with the summary, omalley. I was wary as I clicked on each page, fearing another unexpected tough dramatic test for Tina & Bette. Thank God it was just the long, agonizing birthing process! Tina’s still testy but she and Bette really seem happy and content, for a change. Thank you for this 25-page gem, omalley! Please don’t stay away too long again. :>
This was *brilliant*. I loved the whole thing, from the Planet to the hospital (loved that labor scene) to the end and Aunt Leslie’s sage advice. You got some of everything in here, and I love the humor. Thanks so much for the post, I loved it. Post soon!
I so hope this is not the end. I love how you write B&T. Their dialog is so realistic. I loved Tina’s behavior during the birth–poor Bette couldn’t catch a break :). Thanks for the post, hope to see you soon.
Bringing up the rear…the wait was more than worth it! Had to read in shifts since I kept getting interrupted. I could visualize everything you wrote–the tone, the expressions. All the characters are true to form. And we finally meet a member of Tina’s family and get an explanation about her folks! This was soo good! Don’t let the length lull you into thinking you can take a break from posting! Ethan…sweet!
All the while reading I was smiling and holding back tears, so well written and enjoyable.
“Helena, what are you doing?”
Helena looked up, guiltily. “I was looking for my nail file. It’s the sharpest thing I have.”
Tina stared at her.
“You know… to cut the umbilical cord with.”
Oh, hell no. Tina smiled at Helena. “Helena? If you don’t stop what you’re doing right now, I’ll take my own nail file, and stab you with it.”
Hahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahaahahhaahahahah rotflmao
